Scary Gorilla Tag drops you inside a laboratory where you explore, uncover hidden secrets, and fight other players in a horror-flavored take on gorilla tag. This guide covers how to get started, how PvP works, what to go after in the lab, and how to chase down the game's kill-streak badges.
In shortGetting your bearings early makes everything else — exploration and PvP alike — much easier.
You start the game trapped inside a laboratory. Before you do anything else, figure out whether you want to fight other players or explore on your own, because that one choice shapes your whole session.

In shortThorough exploration of the lab is the only reliable way to stumble onto the game's secret events and collectibles.
Several badges have nothing to do with PvP. They reward you for finding specific objects, surviving strange sequences, and reacting to events as they happen.
Fix the Powerbox during a blackout to earn the You Fixed The Powerbox! badge.
Track down the Gorilla Statue somewhere in the lab to pick up the Obtain The Gorilla Statue! badge.
Encounter and survive the '?what' sequence to unlock both the ?what badge and the Escaped the '?what' Sequence badge.
Look for the ?nostalgia badge, which is tied to another unusual event inside the lab.
Keep an eye out for Tim Cheese, a hidden badge with no obvious hint in the lab itself.
